  • Patent number: 9882082
    Abstract: Compositions used in, and methods for, fabricating a rear-passivated silicon solar cell are described. A novel method of opening the back surface for contacting the silicon with a conventional aluminum paste is described. Various novel screen printable etch resists are described. First, such an etch resist can be printed on the rear of a rear-passivated solar cell wafer. The passivation layer can then be removed using a wet etch, and next the etch resist layer can be removed. Further, an additional wet etch step may optionally be used to deepen the opening into the silicon and enhance the BSF (back-surface field). Aluminum paste can then be printed over the entire backside of the now etched cell. The entire cell is then fired. In exemplary embodiments of the present invention, the paste can be chosen so that it will not fire through the passivation layer.

  • Patent number: 6272686
    Abstract: This invention relates to a golf glove having a guide line drawn diagonally at an angle of 20-30 degrees from a horizontal line across the upper surface of the golf glove, the guide line passing through the crook between the roots of the middle finger and the ring finger. The guide line on the golf glove is used in combination with the indicium on the grip handle of the golf club for proper grip and positioning prior to swing.
